How is PRS supporting our community in the face of war?
These are challenging days for the Jewish community with many of us glued to the news of the war, hoping that the hostages will return home safely, hoping that the many displaced people will find safety and comfort, and hoping that the many Israelis that are fighting will help bring about a lasting peace. And we are torn in our feelings toward Gaza: hoping that this war will weaken if not eliminate Hamas while feeling sad at the loss of civilian life.
PRS has been fortunate in Rabbi Helaine’s leadership in these difficult times. Prior to the war she shared with us the tremendous months long outpouring of opposition to Netanhayu’s attempt to reduce the power of the judiciary, with demonstrations in the streets of Israeli cities to protect democracy she saw on her trip there. And more recently following her travel to Israel this November with other reform and conservative rabbis on a mission to offer comfort, she shared with us some heartbreaking stories from a kibbutz near Gaza that had been attacked. She has given all of us an opportunity to be together as a community, to share our thoughts and emotions, and to comfort one another.
